Burgers & Fries
This was an excellent chubby (smashburger?) burger. I love a solid burger & fries and Chubbies definitely delivers!!
Chubbies Burger Roma · Liverpool 179, Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, 06600 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
I think this has been my favorite proper burger in CDMX. 10/10 Reasonably priced, love their fries (this is always important), make sure you ask for their house habanero sauce– it slaps!! They also have a little stand where they sell marquesitas.
Aburger · Coahuila 180, Roma Sur, Cuauhtémoc, 06760 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
This burger won't change your life, but I do love this place for quick casual burger. I love their open kitchen, their chicken sandwich and how they are happy to prepare your burger to your liking (lots of topping options/additions).
Burger & Joch’s Condesa · Av. Insurgentes Sur 323, Hipódromo, Cuauhtémoc, 06100 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
This feels so wrong to add this to this list, but tell me why ShakeShack hits so much better in CDMX than in NYC?? You be the judge :)
Shake Shack • Av. P.º de la Reforma 333, Cuauhtémoc, 06500 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
This is a little cozy joint in Doctores – they apparently “smash” their burgers with a tortilla press– which I love. Great burgers, fries, and malteadas (shakes)!
Holy Burger • Calle Dr Velasco 86-Local B - 91 And 92, Doctores, Cuauhtémoc, 06720 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Tacos
Ok I went out here with a friend one night– some of the best tacos I've had in Roma. Their salsas slap, their chicharron is to die for, and their black beans are killer– not to mention all their tacos. 10/10 I recommend this place all the time.
Tizne Tacomotora (Roma) · Guanajuato 27-B, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
The lines are long in the busy afternoons and evenings for a reason! Their tacos slap, but secretly one of the best things on the menu are their Papas Orinoco (crispy potatoes).
Taquería Orinoco · Av. Álvaro Obregón 100, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
This was one of the first places I had come to in CDMX. While these aren't life changing tacos, there's something about the vibe of the taqueria that I love. When I go usually get a order of guacamole, a couple tacos (chico), a burrito, and of course...
TACONTENTO · Londres 106 - 4, Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, 06600 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
This place is always packed– their tacos are great– but I had one of the best chorizo (longaniza) torta I've had in the city so far!
Tacos La Chula Roma · Av. Insurgentes Sur 454, Centro Urbano Pdte. Juárez, Roma Sur, Cuauhtémoc, 06760 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Fine Dining
Taverna is probably one of the more rustic, charming restaurants I've been to in CDMX. Their staff is super attentive & knowledgeable and the food presentation is spectacular. This certainly won't be an inexpensive night out, but its the perfect ...
Taverna · Calle Gral. Prim 34, Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, 06600 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Everyone raves about this restaurant--- all the stars show up here-- and its absolutely worth the hype!
Contramar · Calle de Durango 200, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Pizza
Ok so I've been on the hunt for some of the best pizzas in CDMX – Bar Felix is definitely a go to.
Bar Felix · Av. Álvaro Obregón 64, Centro Urbano Pdte. Juárez, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Ok really tiny place you might potentially walk by, but they have some super unique Sicillian slices that change daily. I love this place, no frills, scrumptious 40 peso slices of pizza. 10/10
Pizzica Roma Norte · Frontera 149, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Elotes/ Esquites
You can get elotes y esquites from so many vendors all over the city, but I am partial to these guys. I always get my esquite (grande) and put a few dashes of Valentina for an extra kick. (Cash-only)
Elotes y Esquites Los Juniors · Michoacán esquina con Amsterdam S n, Hipódromo, Cuauhtémoc, 06100 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Tostadas
Super charming restaurant located in Roma Norte…. the fresh fish tostadas are to die for!
Fugaz · C. Orizaba 3 B, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
